It was confirmed that the Ministry of National Defense created a “ model response ” to respond to the suspicion of preferential treatment to the son of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae during the military period, hiding the core content and including false answers.
In an internal document entitled ‘Regarding the vacation of the son of the Minister of Justice’, obtained by the Office of People’s Power in Kim Do-eup on the 23rd, the suspicions surrounding Mr. Seo were summarized in Q&A (Q&A) format. It was prepared for questions and answers to the National Assembly. The facts identified for each topic, the position of Minister Chu and the direction of the Ministry of Defense were included. However, some clarifications were not true.
The Ministry of National Defense stated in the document that on suspicion of requesting an interpreter selection process for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, “I tried to select from the first applicants, but it was switched to a lottery system through a series of requests “. However, in the two clarifications prepared by the Ministry of National Defense, the central content that there was a request was omitted. The first response was “it is difficult to confirm enough facts in the army because the informant (reserve colonel Lee Cheol-won, head of the support team) was fired, and the second plan was that the applicants were selected by lot.”
In response to the question, ‘Are there not too many vacation days for Minister Chu’s son than for other soldiers?’, The Ministry of National Defense also submitted an answer that, excluding sick leave, there were no privileges at one level. appropriate compared to KATUSA’s average vacation days in 2018. However, the military understood that Seo’s total vacation days was 58 days, which was more than the KATUSA Soldier’s average (35 days) and the Army average (54 days).
It was also revealed through this document that Sergeant A, leader of the KATUSA Soldier Support Group, who received an inquiry from Minister Chu for the extension of sick leave, was transferred to a military hospital in June 2017 after to work normally even after being diagnosed with cancer. This is in contrast to the rest of the period after Minister Chu’s son was hospitalized in a large hospital in Gangnam, Seoul for three days, and rested at home.
It was revealed that the Ministry of National Defense has unusually accompanied a non-commissioned officer in charge of personnel affairs when Sergeant A, who is mentioned as a ‘point man’ who will resolve the request, appeared as a reference in the prosecution last June. The opposition party insisted: “Isn’t it because of the silence?”
Representative Kim Do-eup noted that this document was “a guideline stating that ‘people should be misled like this’ even after the military has confirmed the facts.”
